TOEFL iBT Flashcards: 12 Task Types, Vocabulary & Strategy
Study the 12 current TOEFL iBT task types with 180 original cards on vocabulary, sentence patterns, task decisions, and reusable strategy cues.
Om denne kortstokken
The TOEFL iBT changed worldwide on January 21, 2026. This independently written English deck gives you a compact active-recall layer for the current format: 180 cards across all 12 Reading, Listening, Writing, and Speaking task types.
Reviewed for the 2026 TOEFL iBT format.
What the cards ask you to retrieve
- current task name → format and skill being measured
- partial word or short original context → spelling, meaning, or word form
- sentence cue → grammatical structure
- original scenario or common miss pattern → the next useful decision
- communicative purpose → a natural response, email, discussion, or speaking move
- claim, detail, transition, or speaker cue → its role in comprehension
The sequence starts with a map of the 12 tasks, then follows the test order: Reading, Listening, Writing, and Speaking. Within each task, basic recognition comes before strategy decisions and production cues. Every card has the root toefl-ibt tag and one section tag.
What's deliberately left out
This deck is not a full TOEFL course, test simulation, official preparation product, or promise of a score. It does not reproduce adaptive Reading or Listening, one-play audio, pronunciation assessment, spontaneous speaking, or complete timed writing. Return to current ETS materials for that performance practice.
The deck also excludes copied exam questions, passages, answer choices, scoring rubrics, mark schemes, and curriculum text. It does not mechanically add definition-to-word reverse cards, because isolated reverse recall is often ambiguous; production directions appear only when a specific context or sentence makes the answer useful and clear.
Scope was reviewed against the current ETS test content page and the TOEFL iBT 2026 Test Blueprint and Specifications. Check those official sources for current requirements and later changes.
Facts and official task names are not claimed as original. The CC0 dedication applies to the deck's independently written prompts, answers, examples, organization, metadata, and original generated cover to the extent the contributor can dedicate those elements.
This independent, unofficial deck is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by ETS. TOEFL® and TOEFL iBT® are trademarks of ETS. No official questions, mark schemes, scoring rubrics, curriculum passages, logos, or trade dress are copied.

Find the main subject and verb first, then attach modifying phrases and clauses to the ideas they describe.

The lab closes at sixcan explain whether there is time to visit it.Kort 70

Kort 73
Spørsmål

Svar
A distractor echoes vocabulary from the prompt but does not form a logical reply. Test the conversational link, not the word match.
Kort 74
Spørsmål
Listen and Choose a Response — what should you do with an unfamiliar expression?
Svar
Infer its function from tone and context. You often need the speaker's intent more than a word-for-word definition.
Kort 75
Spørsmål
Listen and Choose a Response — when two options are grammatical, what decides between them?
Svar
Conversational relevance. Choose the option a person would naturally say next in that situation.
Kort 76
Spørsmål
Listen and Choose a Response — what does multistage adaptive mean for the Listening section?
Svar
The section adjusts to your ability as you progress. Its four task types stay the same, but the item count and timing may vary.
Kort 77
Spørsmål
Listen to a Conversation — what setting is most typical?
Svar
A campus-life conversation between two people. The exchange may involve a problem, plan, service, class, or student activity.
Kort 78
Spørsmål

Svar
Main ideas, key details, speaker intent, and implied meaning. Listen for both what is said and why it is said.
Kort 79
Spørsmål
Listen to a Conversation — how can you capture the main idea in one line?
Svar
Write the speakers' shared purpose or central problem. A topic label alone is usually too broad.
Kort 80
Spørsmål
Listen to a Conversation — what should you track about each speaker?
Svar
Each speaker's role and goal. Knowing who needs information, approval, or action makes the exchange easier to follow.
Kort 81
Spørsmål
Listen to a Conversation — what compact note pattern fits a problem-solving exchange?
Svar
Problem → options → decision. Add the reason for the final choice if the speakers give one.
Kort 82
Spørsmål
Listen to a Conversation — which details are most worth writing down?
Svar
Details that change the plan or explain a choice. Dates, requirements, obstacles, and decisions usually matter more than examples or greetings.
Kort 83
Spørsmål
Listen to a Conversation — how can tone reveal speaker intent?
Svar
Tone can show doubt, relief, hesitation, politeness, or disagreement. Combine it with the speaker's words before inferring intent.
Kort 84
Spørsmål
Listen to a Conversation — what supports a sound inference?
Svar
Two or more clues from the exchange. Choose what follows from the speakers' words and situation, not what is merely possible.
Kort 85
Spørsmål
Listen to a Conversation — why should you expect paraphrases in the options?
Svar
Correct answers often restate the audio with different words. Match the idea rather than waiting for an exact phrase.
Kort 86
Spørsmål
Listen to a Conversation — how can a two-column note layout help?
Svar
Give each speaker a column. This keeps requests, objections, and decisions attached to the right person.
Kort 87
Spørsmål
Listen to a Conversation — how do you predict a likely next action?
Svar
Use the final decision plus any stated condition. The next action should follow directly from where the speakers leave the situation.
Kort 88
Spørsmål
Listen to a Conversation — why can one memorable sentence be misleading?
Svar
A single sentence may describe an option that the speakers later reject. Follow the whole exchange before choosing the outcome.
Kort 89
Spørsmål
Listen to an Announcement — where does this task usually take place?
Svar
In an academic or campus setting. Expect a focused message about information students or staff need to act on.
Kort 90
Spørsmål
Listen to an Announcement — which abilities does the task measure?

Listen to an Announcement — how should you record a reason and its result?
Svar
Link them as cause → consequence. This prevents you from confusing why the change happened with what listeners must do.
Kort 95
Spørsmål
Listen to an Announcement — how do you identify the likely next action?
Svar
Look for instructions, deadlines, and eligibility conditions. The expected action must fit all three when they are stated.
Kort 96
Spørsmål
Listen to an Announcement — what makes an implied conclusion safe?
Svar
It follows from explicit facts in the message. Do not add campus rules or procedures that the speaker never mentions.
Kort 97
Spørsmål
Listen to an Announcement — how should you handle numbers, dates, and room names?
Svar
Write them in short form as soon as you hear them. Exact logistical details are harder to reconstruct from memory than the main purpose.
Kort 98
Spørsmål
Listen to an Announcement — what evidence should control your answer?
Svar
The speaker's actual message. Familiar campus routines may sound plausible, but they are not evidence unless the audio supports them.
Kort 99
Spørsmål
Listen to an Academic Talk — what kind of audio do you hear?
Svar
A short academic talk by a professor or expert. It is focused rather than a long lecture set.
Kort 100
Spørsmål
Listen to an Academic Talk — do you need specialist knowledge of the subject?
Svar
No. ETS uses varied academic fields, but the information needed to answer comes from the talk itself.
Kort 101
Spørsmål

Svar
Main ideas, supporting details, organization, inferences, and sometimes uncommon or idiomatic vocabulary.
Kort 102
Spørsmål

Svar
Comparison, cause and effect, a sequence, a definition with examples, or a problem with a solution. The structure shows how details connect.

Listen to an Academic Talk — what do signposts such as
first,however, andas a resultreveal?Svar
The relationship between ideas. They can mark sequence, contrast, or consequence before the content is complete.
Kort 105
Spørsmål
Listen to an Academic Talk — how can you tell why the speaker gives an example?
Svar
Connect the example to the claim immediately before it. The example may illustrate, support, qualify, or challenge that point.
Kort 106
Spørsmål
Listen to an Academic Talk — what is an efficient comparison note?
Svar
Name both subjects and record one shared feature or key difference. Keep each feature aligned with the correct subject.
Kort 107

Svar
Use arrows: cause → immediate effect → wider result. This preserves order when several consequences are discussed.
Kort 108
Spørsmål
Listen to an Academic Talk — how should you record a new term?
Svar
Write the term, a short definition, and one example if given. Keep the example attached to the concept it illustrates.
Kort 109
Spørsmål
Listen to an Academic Talk — what makes an inference stronger than a guess?
Svar
It combines the speaker's claim, supporting detail, and tone. A reasonable fact from outside the talk is still not enough.
Kort 110
Spørsmål
Listen to an Academic Talk — how can context unlock an uncommon word?
Svar
Use the surrounding definition, contrast, example, or result. Infer the meaning needed in that sentence rather than a complete dictionary entry.
Kort 111
Spørsmål
Listen to an Academic Talk — how should you interpret an idiomatic phrase?
Svar
Read it through the speaker's point and tone, not word by word. The intended meaning must fit the surrounding explanation.
Kort 112
Spørsmål
Listen to an Academic Talk — what note hierarchy keeps details useful?
Svar
Main idea → major point → evidence or example. Indentation helps you see which detail supports which claim.
Kort 113
Spørsmål
Listen to an Academic Talk — why should you mark a correction or qualification?
Svar
It may replace or narrow an earlier statement. The revised idea, not the first rough version, is usually the one that matters.
Kort 114
Spørsmål
Listen to an Academic Talk — how can the ending help you check your notes?
Svar
Use the closing summary or conclusion to confirm the central point. Update your main-idea note if the talk's direction became clearer.
